FTC sending checks to defrauded consumers

The FTC has announced it is mailing checks to consumers who were victims of two scams.

  • There will be 104,612 checks totaling nearly $3.5 million to people who bought weight-loss supplements marketed by Maine-based sellers Direct Alternatives and Original Organics, LLC. Affected consumers will receive their refund checks, which average $33.12, within the next week. The FTC and the Maine Attorney General’s Office obtained the money in the settlement of two related cases against those sellers and a marketing company that created and disseminated advertisements for Direct Alternative’s weight-loss products.
  • Also being sent are refund checks to people deceived by the operators of an alleged tech support scheme by Troth Solutions. The FTC is mailing checks averaging $380 and totaling more than $26,000 to 70 consumers who were tricked into believing their computers were infected with viruses and malware, and then charged hundreds of dollars for unnecessary repairs.
